Most people would define “beatitude” as “blessed, happy, wholesome and full.” A beatitude is that but it also means more than that. It literally means:
Supreme blessedness
Exalted happiness
Very best
A beatitude is a statement that depicts a certain quality of life, a characteristic one should possess, a blessing that is to be lived and enjoyed. The most famous beatitudes were given by Jesus and are found in Matthew 5:3-12 and I am sure that you are familiar with those.
But did you know that the book of Revelation also contains beatitudes? I bet you didn’t but now you know. Check out the following beatitudes in Revelation. They contain great promises of supreme blessing and exalted happiness. Take a minute and thumb through Revelation and read them:
1:3
14:13
16:15
19:9
20:6
22:7
22:12-14
I encourage to take some time and thumb through some of those promises. And I assure you that you will be blessed and encouraged and challenged! The beatitudes of the book of Revelation.
